Hi guys,

I'm doing some repairs to the chasis of my r 34 gtr and need to get a front piler/tower cut going from the front tower through the firewall, upto about halfway up the windscreen and about 30 or 40cm along the bottom rails. Basically whats happened is the wheel has been pushed back into the chasis when I hit a gutter so I'm going to replace the damaged chasis parts.

I understand there are some difference due to the r34gtr being 4wd but as the parts being replaced are the very end of the rail and inside of the wheel arch towards the firewall that these subtleties between chasis won't make a difference. The price difference is significant thats all. I need to know that the spot welds are and panels will be in the same place so I can transplant from one to another. Anyone know???

If you need pics of the damaged area I'm happy to post...

Thanks!!!

Pics would be great dude.

Just by going by your explanation - it seems like awful lot of damage - are you certain you will manage to keep the structural integrity of the whole chassis after so much cutting and re-welding?

Seems like you may not end up with two cars stuck together, but pretty close to it

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
